Forgot to comment! I finished Madame Bovary for this category. :)
ReplyDeleteI finished The Cross (Kristin Lavransdatter #3) for this category
ReplyDeleteMy review of: In Cold Blood Yep, it's pretty tragic.
ReplyDeleteFinished Wuthering Heights. I can safely say I hated this book.
ReplyDeleteI read the Grapes of Wrath by John Steinbeck and it was heartbreaking and beautiful.
ReplyDeleteJust linked Requiem for a Wren by Nevil Shute.
ReplyDeleteOnce again the Classics Challenge has led me to a fascinating book I would probably never have read otherwise. A very interesting book with lots of thought-provoking twists and turns.
ReplyDeleteI read Wuthering Heights for this category - and it seems like several others did too!
ReplyDeleteI feel like The Plague is pretty tragic.
ReplyDeleteI read Uncle Tom's Cabin for this category. It was tragic indeed, but so well worth reading.
ReplyDeleteIt feels awkward to use a book that was mentioned as an example, but as it'd been on my TBR I figured it was alright. Problem is that I could only get my hands on the Penguin Reader version, which means I read nowhere near the actual novel. My copy was only 90 pages. I had hoped it'd only be simplified language, but alas. I have an order at the library for the full novel, but just in case I won't be able to read it in time, I am counting this prompt as fulfilled.
ReplyDeleteI read The Mill on the Floss. I liked Eliot's writing style, but not the story.
ReplyDeleteThe Good Soldier is beautifully written. I read it several times over the years, each time enjoying it more and understanding more of what the author is getting at.
ReplyDeleteIt was The House of Mirth for me. Not very mirthful! But great.
ReplyDeleteCatherine Middleton. Hi Karen, I have read A Separate Peace.
ReplyDelete"A Canticle for Lebowitz" was interesting to say the least.
